Top 10 Anime Characters with American Comic Twins
Anime and American comics have always inspired and fed off of each other.
Therefore, it's no surprise that many comics and anime have equivalent characters that are like crosscultural twins.
10. Batman : Roger Smith - Big O
Batman is a rich, tech savvy detective who fights against villainy in a lawless city.
Roger Smith is like his anime brother who also lives in a film noir type of show.
Plus both of them have butlers and sidekicks with girl names - Robin and Dorothy。
9. Superman : Saitama - One Punch Man
They're both considered to be one of the strongest heroes in their genre plus, they have capes, belts, and one piece suits!
Saitama might be more sarcastic and Clark more earnest, but at the core of it they both are the same - heroes to the core.
8. Wonder Woman: Usagi Tsukino - Sailor Moon
Both of these ladies are the first female heroes to hit the mainstream in their genre and stand as a symbol for all.
They also both come from a different world, spend most of their time with women (Amazonians and Sailor Scouts), and just look at their tiaras!
7. Aquaman: Haruka Nanase - Free!
Ok, maybe Jinbe from One Piece would be more like Aquaman because he can control water, oceans, and talk to animals.
But Haru is a better candidate because his skin tight suit, he's only useful inside of water, and abs.
6. Beastboy: Ash Ketchum - Pokemon
Beast Boy can transform into animals and has almost limitless strength when times are tough.
Ash can't transform or really fight himself at all, but he does have an arsenal of animals to fight for him.
They both are a bit talkative but have a heart of gold. Although Beastboy did finally kiss a romantic interest, unlike Ash with his ongoing harem of girls and Brock.
5. Thor: Skuld - Ah My Goddess!
Thor and Skuld are practically twins!
Their only differences are really due to them being the most desirable type of character for when they were created.
Thor a strong and sensual god with long hair, Skuld an adorable tsundere goddess filled with moe.
Just look at their hammers and enjoy watching new Avengers movies while imagining Chris Hemsworth as an adorable Asian girl.

4. Hulk: Piccolo - Dragon Ball Z
Green superheroes that yell a lot might sum up these two characters but they both have a quiet, thinking side to them.
While other heroes are happy go lucky, both Hulk and Piccolo take things seriously and are known to go shirtless.
While Hulk can't die, Piccolo can but with so many Dragon Balls, he's pretty much immortal too.
3. Captain America - Hetalia
These two characters walk around representing America in everything they do.
They both love freedom, patriotism, and getting all up in other countries business.
2. SpiderMan: Levi - Attack on Titan
Spiderman and Levi leverage tall buildings to escape danger and protect civilians.
With unprecedented genius for spinning and twisting midair, almost no one can catch these high fliers.
They share a dark past, enforce rules, and think they are the best fighter in the battlefield.
Spiderman may have more jokes, but so does Levi. It's just no one can see it past his resting bitch face.
1. Mister Fantastic: Luffy - One Piece
If you want to see all out fighting with fists and legs that stretch across rooms, these guys can deliver.
They both have crews that always have their back and are trying to unravel an impossible mystery.
They are leaders who fight for victory and are seriously crazy if it means achieving their goals.
